Microsoft has announced a new Xbox stereo headset, costing USD 59.99 for the wired variant that is less expensive than the fantastic USD 100 wireless headset that launched earlier this year. It will be launching on September 21, according to Microsoft, and will be devoid of a few features, while much of the design will remain intact. The Xbox Stereo Headset will cost Rs. 5,990 in India.

The volume may be adjusted by twisting the dial on the exterior of the right ear cup, and there’s a mute button on the back of the flexible microphone, similar to the wireless version.
The Xbox stereo headset doesn’t seem to have the chat/game audio mixing dial on the left ear cup like the more expensive model, but given the price difference, this isn’t a huge loss.
